Join us to celebrate the launch of our new book The Sorrowful Muslim’s Guide with a panel discussion that will critically engage with the sources and explore many of the book’s important and controversial questions. You are also invited to a reception after the talk.

Abstract: Both the resurgence of Islamist politics and the political, social and intellectual upheaval which accompanied the Arab Spring emphasise the important and timely nature of this book which explores the interaction between the pre-modern Islamic tradition and modern supporters of continuity, reform, and change in Muslim societies. The panel will discuss some the many controversial questions that our new book raises, including the historical and ideological influences on Islamic thought, the veracity of the Prophet’s biography and his sayings, and the development of Sufism.
